Rob is doing well today. He was out of bed this morning. He ate Chipotle for lunch and seemed to enjoy it greatly. Dr Casar came in and said they were going to move him to the 10th floor. We asked him to give an estimate for how much longer Rob will be here. He said he should be home by Halloween. Rob thinks he can be home before then. They need to close the whole where the trache is. The way they do that is to keep putting in smaller tubes, so the skin can close around them. That also makes it so he breathes from his nose and mouth more than his throat. They haven't started that yet. They also need to wean him off oxygen. He is at 40%. I told him I always wanted to spend Halloween in Texas, so however long it takes, I'll be here. They are still working on his blood levels as well (having it thin enough, but not too thin.) They don't want his mechanical valve to work harder than it should. His energy level is higher, but he becomes tired so fast.
We started watching Cinderella. I got it for Rob and he was excited. Rob is looking really good. I keep having to remind myself that although he looks great, he still has a ways to go. The doctor reminded Rob about how much he has been through, although he can't remember. He said they want to take it very slow.
